Trying to figure out why we have such a problem with illegal immigration I did a google search and found this:
http://www.usimmigrationsupport.org/greencardlottery.html
Does this mean that the US lets 50,000 people legally immigrate here yearly? Only 50,000?
"The United States Government issues 50,000 permanent resident cards (Green Cards) every year through the Diversity Immigrant Visa Program, commonly known as the Green Card Lottery. Applicants are selected randomly by a computer-generated drawing." "The process of completing and submitting a DV Lottery application can be confusing." "It is a misconception to believe that “winning” the Green Card Lottery automatically grants the selected applicant U.S. residence, a Green Card or United States Citizenship. There are several additional forms and documents that must be submitted to the U.S. government before the applicant receives permanent residence in the United States."
"Every year 100,000 winning notification letters (Notice of Approval) are mailed to the applicants selected through the electronic drawing. The "Notice of Approval" does not guarantee that the applicant and his/her family will receive a Green Card. The Notice of Approval means that the applicant has been selected to continue the application process."
If the US only allows 50,000 to immigrate yearly, I think this could be part of our problem. I'm fairly sure there are many more than 50,000 people who want to immigrate here every year.
Why only 50,000? Is 50,000 a good cut off point? I see lots of space left here so I think we have the room.
